Frank Gore retiring from the NFL is truly the end of an era. He was an ageless wonder at the running back position and definitely left his mark on the league.
Most running backs are lucky if they last three years in the league. Gore played into his late 30s. For a running back, that’s simply unheard of.

After not playing during the 2021 season, the legendary running back has officially hung up his cleats and he’s onto the next stage of his life.
There’s really nothing you can do other than tip your hat and recognize the incredible accomplishment Gore pulled off by playing so long.
He was drafted in 2005! George W. Bush was President when Gore entered the league, and he played during the Biden administration. That’s downright insane.

One of the greatest careers of all time.
